Discover two of Bulgaria’s most treasured landmarks on an unforgettable day trip from Sofia—perfect for culture lovers, history enthusiasts, and curious explorers alike. This immersive tour takes you deep into Bulgaria’s spiritual heritage with visits to the UNESCO-listed Rila Monastery and the medieval Boyana Church (if option selected).

Start your adventure at the Vasil Levski Monument (Yanko Sakuzov Blvd 7), where you’ll meet your friendly group and guide for the day. Relax on a comfortable drive through scenic mountain landscapes and charming rural villages as you make your way to one of the country’s greatest symbols of faith.

At Rila Monastery, the largest and most iconic Eastern Orthodox monastery in Bulgaria, you’ll have around three hours to soak in the atmosphere of this remarkable place. Follow your guide to uncover the stories behind its centuries-old frescoes and architecture—or opt to explore independently. Visit the museum, capture stunning photos, browse the local shops, and enjoy a delicious lunch in the nearby traditional restaurant.

On your journey back to Sofia, make one last memorable stop at the Boyana Church (if option selected). Step inside this small yet extraordinary medieval chapel, home to some of Europe’s most impressive and well-preserved frescoes.

Due to updated regulations as of November 2024, Boyana Church no longer accepts advance reservations, so entry cannot always be guaranteed—but when available, this intimate visit is truly unforgettable.

You’ll return to the city center between 17:30 PM and 18:30 PM, filled with new insights and exceptional memories.
